Why
should I
adopt a Ragdoll?
The Ragdoll breed is known for its soft coat, large size, docile and intelligent personality. Their name comes from their propensity to flop like ragdoll when picked up. The Ragdoll is ideal even for the non-cat person, the person who prefers dogs over cats. While the Ragdoll is still a cat with preferences and moods, those are less intense. And while some Ragdoll cats require a little wooing, they still prefer human company over isolated reclusiveness. The Ragdoll is playful, but not competitive. She is laid back, but not unafected by discomfort. And amazingly, she can come in many colors and patterns. What makes the Ragdoll is more than appearance; it is soul.

Can I visit the Masterpiece Ragdoll Cattery?
One of the ways in which we maintain a safe, clean cattery is by limiting interaction. For that reason, we maintain a closed cattery. We offer Facetime video screenings for transparency. We know how exciting it is to await your Masterpiece, so we do our best to provide plenty of pictures and videos of your reserved kitten. We also are available by text/email to answer questions! Also, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel

What can I expect to pay for a Masterpiece Ragdoll kitten?
Masterpiece Ragdoll prices will vary. Here are some examples:
Prices range from $1,700 – $1,900 for pet quality kittens. Bicolors tend to be more than points. Mismarked kittens tend to be offered at a lower price.
Breeder kittens are available to the right breeder. We charge an additional $1500 for breeding rights.
Transportation by air (in cabin) to major U.S. cities is available and usually costs an additional $250-$500.
All kitten sales will include a photocopy of the official parents’ pedigree, vet wellness check & vaccination documentation, a gift package containing Life’s Abundance all-stages food sample, and post-acquisition support for the life of your ragdoll.

Is delivery available?
Yes!
There are multiple ways in which your Masterpiece can get to you. Air cargo is possible through American Airlines. Fees vary and we do what we can to help keep those costs down. We also have a flight nanny. Kristi is a fantastic pet nanny who knows her way around major airports and airlines. As long as you’re willing to commute to major cities, that cost is reasonable. If door-to-door delivery is what is needed, we have you covered in that case, too. Just let us know. We can’t help if you don’t share your needs!

When can I collect my Masterpiece Ragdoll kitten?
If you have placed a deposit and have been placed on the waitlist, you will be contacted with a private link containing pictures when the Masterpiece has reached the most photogenic age (about 5-6 weeks). At 10 weeks of age, your Masterpiece’s health will be evaluated by a veterinarian. Once she is cleared, she can go home. Final payment is expected at the time of acquisition, or if flying, before the date travel commences. We offer $50.00 discount if payment is made in cash or bank-issued check.

How can I best care for my Masterpiece Ragdoll kitten?
We believe strongly in the FVRCP vaccination. We perform this at 8 weeks, 10 weeks, and highly recommend you take your ragdoll to the vet by the 12 week mark in order to get a third shot, along with a Rabies vaccination.https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/vaccines-for-cats
We are big fans of Life’s Abundance All Life Stages Cat Food – for shiny coat of hair, pleasant (as possible) elimination, and autoship options.
We use Precious Cat kitty litter – it is the best at clumping and the most economical on the market. Disclaimer: we use pellet litter for small kittens as granular litter is not safe for tiny kittens.

Can I expect support for the life of my Masterpiece?
Yes. We are here for you. You’ve welcomed one of our beloved ragdoll kittens into your home and we don’t take that for granted. We hope you will call on us in time of concern and celebration. If you have questions about how best to care for your kitten, we hope you will reach out. If you have a photo, we hope you will share it with us via text, email, or social media. Like you, we expect many wonderful years for you and your Masterpiece.
